Jon Kitna to Cowboys: ‘We need to stop the bleeding’

Jon Kitna has been around the block. The veteran quarterback isn’t about to deliver the message to his teammates that they should forget what has happened the first six games, that this team is 0-0 with him as the starter.

“No,” Kitna said. “We’re 1-5. We’re a 1-5 football team. This is where we are at.

“Right now, it’s just like anybody else that would have to step in and play. You have to do your job and I have to do mine.”

How does he and the rest of the team guard against the perception that the season is over?

“I don’t think you guard against anything,” Kitna said. “Guys in this locker room know you have to be a professional each week and approach it like that and do your job.

“We have 10 weeks left in this season, but the most important thing is that we need to stop the bleeding, so to speak, and get a win as soon as possible. That would be this week.”
